Explore Somerville's Outer Limits by Bike - Saturday, October 18

[ron_newman]

Join the Somerville Bicycle Committee for the 16th Annual Tour de Somerville on Saturday, October 18th. We'll meet at 10 am at Seven Hills Park, behind the Holland Street T entrance in Davis Square. From there, we'll trace the entire boundary of our city, from leafy Alewife Brook and Tufts University to gritty Assembly Square, Inner Belt, and Boynton Yards. Occasionally, we'll cross over into neighboring Cambridge, Arlington, Medford, and Charlestown, to see what the city limits look like from the other side.

The ride will be about 15 miles long, with a rest stop at the Somerville Boys and Girls Club's Blessing of the Bay boathouse on the Mystic River. Redbones will provide refreshments at this stop.

A route map and cue sheet are posted at http://SomervilleBikes.org . In case of rain, we'll postpone the ride to Sunday, October 19, same time and location (and we'll announce that on the web site).

Hey Ron - any sense of the timing of this? I have a rehearsal at 2 pm in Winter Hill, but I'd love to do some/all of this if possible

I'm hoping to finish up by 1 pm. You can always bail out somewhere along the way. We go through (well, mostly around) Winter Hill.

Did you come to the ride? There were over 90 riders so I didn't get to see everyone who participated.
